SidebarThe Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA, in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is hosting a public webinar as part of a series of webinars for FDA-issued guidance related to real-world evidence (RWE). The latest session in the webinar series will discuss the draft guidance: Considerations Regarding Non-Interventional Studies for Drug and Biological Products.

The draft guidance describes attributes regarding the design and analysis of a non-interventional study, also known as an observational study, that researchers should consider when proposing such a study for regulatory purposes. This guidance provides recommendations to sponsors and investigators who are considering submitting a non-interventional study to the FDA to contribute to a demonstration of substantial evidence of effectiveness and/or evidence of the safety of a drug.
